Geographic Regions of Georgia Describe the five geographic regions found in Georgia. By Taylor Sundius

Review: What is a region? Areas that are similar in terms of landscape, climate, elevation, and plant and animal life

Blue Ridge Mountains Most scenic Mountainous Lots of rain Cooler temperatures Shortened growing season – higher altitude Agriculture: apples, corn, vegetables Resources: Timber (hickory & oak

Valley and Ridge West of the Blue Ridge Long parallel ridges overlook wide valleys Valleys are great for farming Cotton and corn Pathways for explorers

Appalachian Plateau What is a plateau…? Flat-topped plateaus separated by a deep, narrow valley Small farms Land mostly used for timber and pasture

Piedmont Think about where we live… how would you describe the land around us? Rolling hills, lots of valleys, red clay Agriculture: cotton, soybeans, wheat

Coastal Plain Covers the southern half of the state This used to be completely covered by ocean! Soil is made of limestone, clay & sand Land is flat & not very fertile Land use: pasture and timber farming Long droughts common

Coastal Plain
